I appreciate the graph but how do you rate the polarity of one film over another. You can't say that any movie is geared more towards its fan base than another, unless it's through obvious cases of fan service, repetition or plot irrelevant side questing (so to speak).

The chart suggests that all other movies, in their first iteration, started out with a low polarity but that the Twilight series was all at the very top of the polarity chart. Is that fair?

Despite hating sparkling vampires, I notice that the author seems to believe that from the beginning, these movies were pandering to those that read the books only. It seems very unlikely that is the case. I'm getting used to being shut down hard on these kinds of things though so sound off my friends.

The stats can be interpreted numerous ways but I don't doubt that the conclusion is too far off the mark.

The amount of movies I used to watch were several per week. Now its common for me to watch less than one a month. Its not even lack of time thats the issue, I often decided I want to watch a movie, look at the listings, declare its all shit and find something else to do.

Most big name movies aren't even fun to heckle any more its just sad.

For those of you that don't me well, I will typically watch almost anything and enjoy it at some level. Kyro will attest to that... oh the horrible movies we used to watch.

I see where you are coming from Pseudo, what I gathered as the mark for polarity is its source fan base. The Twilight novels were hugely popular before the movies came out, so there was no "new" ground to break, unlike Wall-E or In Bruges which were in the same year as the first twilight but at the opposite polarizing end of the graph.

If you look at the titles high on the polarizing list, they are sequels and novel adaptations. If you look at the less polarized, the bulk are fresh ideas.
